Nope, completely different species, although superficially, quite similat to look at. Both are saltwater 'flat' fish that are frequently found in estuaries. Both are prized as a food fish, with Sole being the fish of choice. Typically, flounders tend to be more circular in shape (and heavier), whilst sole tend more towards an oval shape.
